Sagard Real Estate, formerly known as EverWest Real Estate Investors, a leading real estate investment advisor, today has announced its acquisition of a strategically located industrial property in the infill Miramar submarket of San Diego, renowned for its dynamic tenant mix and robust market fundamentals. This is also the firm’s inaugural investment under a new separate account with a state public pension plan.

"We are thrilled to solidify a new partnership and acquire this property," stated Chad Messer, Managing Director, Portfolio Management & Deputy CIO at Sagard Real Estate. "This investment aligns with our strategy of targeting high-demand assets in thriving submarkets positioned for long-term success and resilience."

John Bezouska, Vice President, Acquisitions covering Southern California, added, "The Miramar submarket is a vital hub within Central San Diego, offering excellent connectivity and a rich mix of tenants from various industries. The property's strategic location off Miramar Road and proximity to key transit routes like I-15 and I-805 make it an ideal investment. We see significant potential for rental growth and future redevelopment opportunities in this area."

The fully occupied building includes 22-foot clear height, 8,000 square feet of office space across two floors, 7 dock-high positions, 6 grade-level roll-up doors, 1600A power supply, and new HVAC systems installed by the seller. The property acts as a regional receiving hub for an electric car company.

The property is ideally situated in the Miramar submarket, a key area within Central San Diego known for its blend of service providers, distribution tenants, contractor storage yards, showrooms, and traditional manufacturing users. The proximity to Miramar Airbase and high-value housing enhances the site's appeal, ensuring a steady demand from a wide array of industrial tenants. Furthermore, the Miramar submarket's trend towards denser, higher-value uses indicates strong future growth potential, potentially leading to higher rent growth and reduced supply, further bolstering the property's value.
